That's quite a stretch IMO. Also, I've seen no increase in my property taxes, so I guess it's just that guy.

I was joking

Oh sorry. My sarcasm meter is in the shop.

Today of all days.

True story.

Dude, you're cracking me up.

haha, I'm dead serious though about that story. I'm a magnet for right wing peeps who want to complain about Obama or Hillary every fucking time I leave the house. The barbershop, the autoshop, the upholster, the fuckin' cashier at the grocery store...every single time.

Although one of  my funniest was a customer who I later found out was hooked up with Rubio and his wife was a Republican strategist. I was in their home and she says "You just won't believe what these Democrats will do." I just said "Yea, I could imagine, crazy." hahaha

Now here's one that will really give you a belly laugh. Lets see how Trump diehards roll with this one, haha

The initial load time seems the worst for me. But either way, so slow.

A new ABC national poll of likely voters has Hillary up by 12 points. I'd consider this an outlier (at this point anyway) but there were some very interesting tidbits inside that polling data:

• Clinton leads Trump by 20 percentage points among women, 55-35 percent. She's gained 12 points (and Trump's lost 16) from mid-October among non-college-educated white women, some of whom initially seemed to rally to Trump after disclosure of the videotape.

• Clinton has doubled her lead to 32 points, 62-30 percent, among college-educated white women, a group that’s particularly critical of his response to questions about his sexual conduct. (Seventy-six percent disapprove, 67 percent strongly.)

• That said, Clinton's also ahead numerically (albeit not significantly) among men, 44-41 percent, a first in ABC News and ABC/Post polling.

• Trump is just +4 among whites overall, 47-43 percent, a group Mitt Romney won by 20 points in 2012. Broad success among whites is critical for any Republican candidate; nonwhites, a reliably Democratic group, favor Clinton by 54 points, 68-14 percent.

Edit: OMG that last part was so racist about whites! /s

I know I'm in the minority on this, but I think redistricting is worse than citizens united/money in politics.

It was one of the most most powerful and undemocratic moves perpetrated by the GOP IMO. Our "liberal" media rarely brings it up either, and most Americans have no idea.

When the Republicans stop redistricting, then people can complain about that. Dems, too. At this point, they have elections so rigged with gerrymandering districts, it's basically cry me a river.

And it's not a given Hispanics and blacks will automatically vote democratic. Those are very conservative demographics, and if conservatives can't win them over who's fault is that?

The only rigged election we'll see this year is the one for the House. Just as it was in 2012, when the Democrats got well over a million more votes than the GOP and still remained the minority.
